JASON W. CRANDALL, OF HOMER, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND WATSONHOLMES, OF SAME PLACE.

IMPROVEMENT IN CORNER FASTENINGS FOR WAGON-BOXES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 143,333, datedSeptember 30,1873; applicationfiled November 22, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JASON W. ORANDALL, of Homer, in the county ofCortland and State of New York, have invented certain Improve ments inBox-Corners, of which the following is a specification:

This invention consists in the combination of an inner corner-plate ofpeculiar construction for wagon-seats, with an outer cornerplate andsecuring-bolts, as will be fully described hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents aview of the inner plate; Fig.2, ofthe outer plate; and Fig. 3 a view of the parts as applied to a (trepresents the inner angle-plate, provided with the flanges c andsuitable bolt-holes, and also with the peculiar quadrangular projectionb, which forms a recess for the seat-rail. d represents the outerangle-plate, having suitable bolt-holes corresponding with those ofplate a.

These parts are applied to a wagon-seat, as shown in Fig. 1, andsecurely united by bolts, the seat-rail resting in the recess ofprojection b, by which means great strength and stiifness are given tothe joint.

Having thus fully described my invention, I do not broadly claim thecombination of an inner and outer angle-iron having flanges; but

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the inner angle-plate having the projection b, with awagon-seat corner having a seat-rail, and the outer angleplates andsecuring-bolts, as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

JASON W. GRANDALL.
